I hate the fact that we're apparently two episodes behind here, but I figure I'll risk spoiling to talk about this here:
The Doctor, as we have established is an old soul "who can't bear to hear children crying because he's so kind."
And he "accidentally" crashes by a crack in space - which justy happend to have a sad, lonely child sitting right by it, so he stops to help.
Now, in the long version of the first ep, which played last week (sadly, cut from the reduced repeat), Prisoner 0 said something about "Don't you know who created it?" and started chanting "The Doctor doesn't know!"
The crack continues to appear where the Doctor goes with Amy.
We never see Amy's Aunt (or at least not yet, which is a far cry from any of the previous companions, who's familes have featued prominantly).
Amy says she "doesn't have" a mom and a dad (not that they died, but that she doesn't have them). She only has the mysterious Aunt who brought her to England.
The Doctor jumped through time for a couple of minutes, and each time, Amy had grown up years.
Now, obviously, the rest of the town (and even Prisoner 0)knew Amy, and had seen her grow up, but there's still odd stuff like "What's that?" "A duck pond." "Where are the ducks?" "There aren't any!" "Then how do you know it's a duck pond?" "I don't know! It just is!" I'd write this off as meaningless, except of all the things they cut from the first ep, this "meaningless" bit wasn't cut - and the Doctor really seemed disturbed about it.
And then when Amy walked near the monitor on the TARDIS, it started humming and displaying a vibrational signal, which the Doctor tried to keep her from seeing. A spooky note played in the background music, and the Doctor quickly switched off the monitor - the same spooky note played again.
I can't help but wonder if Amy is some sort of "trap" set by someone (the Daleks, maybe?) to bring the Doctor through (or make him open) the crack? Maybe she's not even real?
